Staying On Target: From Volunteering To the Olympics.

Episode: #024.

Dave Jones.

Industry Expert: Shooting

---

We’re kicking off our first guest episode of 2026 with a story that captures everything Almost Pro is about: family, community, commitment, and the people behind high performance sport.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dave Jones, who shares his family’s journey through shooting, from discovering the sport, to becoming deeply involved at club level, and ultimately supporting his daughters through the pathway to elite competition. Along the way, Dave found himself wearing many hats: parent, coach, referee, fundraiser, chauffeur, and constant supporter.

This conversation isn’t about medals alone. It’s about the long drives, the tough calls, moments of burnout, the role of community clubs, and what it really means to show up for your kids in sport year after year.

If you’ve ever been part of a sporting family, volunteered at a club, or wondered what happens behind the scenes of elite pathways, this episode will resonate.
